Royal Family Drama: Queen Orders Legal Action Against Harry and Meghan
The ongoing feud between Buckingham Palace and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seems to be escalating as the Queen is reportedly taking a bold step by instructing senior palace aides to pursue legal action against the couple.
Sources reveal that the Queen, aged 95, has directed palace officials to explore the possibility of suing herself in response to the relentless attacks on the royal family by the Sussexes based in the United States, with the assistance of defamation experts.
The tensions between the two parties were reignited following revelations made by Harry, 36, and Meghan, 40, during their explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey, where they disclosed that an unnamed royal had expressed concerns about their son Archie's skin color before his birth.
In response, Buckingham Palace issued a statement addressing the allegations, but the dispute was stirred up again when a new chapter in the biography “Finding Freedom” implied that the royals were not taking responsibility for their actions.
Sources close to the Queen have indicated that she has reached a breaking point, with a clear message that there are limits to how much criticism the royal family can endure.
The source emphasized that the repeated attacks from Harry and Meghan will no longer be tolerated, signaling a shift towards a more aggressive stance from the palace.
A significant challenge facing the royal legal team is the impending release of Prince Harry's memoir through Penguin Random House next year.
There are considerations being made to issue a precautionary warning to the publishers to avoid potential defamation claims if any individuals are named in the book, which could infringe upon their right to privacy.
Despite denials from the Sussexes' lawyers regarding reigniting tensions with the Queen, the latest version of “Finding Freedom” suggests that the couple was disappointed with the official response from Buckingham Palace following their interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The book authors, Ahmed Scobie and Carolyn Durand, have been accused of relying on unnamed sources to fabricate claims about the Sussexes' relationship with the royal family.
In an attempt to clarify the situation, Mr. Scobie took to social media to address the misconceptions surrounding the book, emphasizing that there was no intention to attack or oppose the Queen.
The narrative presented in the updated version of “Finding Freedom” challenges the notion that the royal family has taken full ownership of their actions, prompting further scrutiny and speculation within royal circles.
As the saga unfolds, the dynamics within the royal family continue to evolve, with each party asserting its position and defending its actions.
The intricate web of relationships and responsibilities adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing drama, leaving both supporters and critics eagerly awaiting the next chapter in this unfolding royal saga.
